Abstract: An improved method and system for providing path-level access control to a structured document in a collection stored in a database, where the structured document includes a plurality of nodes is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing an access control policy for the collection, where the access control policy comprises a plurality of access control rules, generating a path for each node of the plurality of nodes in the document, and generating for each path associated with a node a corresponding value expression based on at least one access control rule of the plurality of access control rules. According to the method and system of the present invention, the corresponding value expression is utilized during access control evaluation to determine whether a user is allowed to access a node in the structured document.

Abstract: It is one object of the present invention to provide a server, a computer system that can efficiently operate a server, an object management method and a server control method. For each web page that is presented to a user terminal, a server predicts the times whereat users will issue the next requests, i.e., the times NA whereat objects held by the server will be used, and manages objects stored in the main storage based on predicted use times NA. In the process employed for swapping an object out of the main storage, basically the object is swapped out whose predicted use time NA is the latest.

Abstract: A transmission control system comprises a restricted word database for storing restricted words; a request transmission control section for relaying a request message sent from a Web browser to an external network and inspecting whether the request message includes a code that is dependent on an HTML file; and a restricted word checking section for analyzing the code using related portions of the code described in the HTML file when the request message includes the code, and determining whether or not to allow transmission of the request message depending on whether an analysis result of the code corresponds to the restricted words, wherein the request transmission control section controls the transmission of the request message according to the determination of the restricted word checking section.
